Background
Captain Doug has been fishing the waters off of Cape Cod for over 20 years. He loves having the opportunity of introducing saltwater fishing to anyone who hasn't had the chance to fish before. The captain has worked as a commercial fisherman and as a mate on another charter boat for years. He recently retired and decided that it was time to go for his captain's license and start a new chapter in life.
Techniques
Fishing with live bait is one of my favorite methods to fish during the day but night fishing with live eels is an awesome experience that everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. When we're going for big Stripers, wireline jigging is absolutely the most productive and consistent way to fish in the rips around Monomoy. We use a proprietary St. Pete Striper Jig that drives the fish crazy.

St. Pete Sport Fishing: Red Hot Bite Des
St. Pete Sport Fishing: Red Hot Bite Des
Jun 14, 2025 Dennis
The early fishing on the south side of Cape Cod has been incredible! We're seeing a lights-out bite with several huge fish ranging from 28 inches up to the low 40-inch range. While the weather hasn't been the most cooperative lately, the fish certainly have been, making for some fantastic catches. It appears that another epic summer is in store for Cape Cod.

Wind and Fog But We're Still Getting it

It's been a tough year on the South Side of Cape Cod as far as weather goes. Nice days for golf but the wind has been relentless. When we can get out there the fishing has been lights out. Great customers and great fishing. We still have some Monday and Tuesday dates open for August and September.

Our first Striper Trip of the Season was
Jun 4, 2024 Dennis
Our first Striper trip of the season was a huge success with Matt Whalen and crew aboard the St. Pete today. There were a variety of sizes from schoolies to slot fish to oversized around 38". The St. Pete Weighted Hoochies were on fire! Thanks, Matt for a great trip. We trolled St. Pete Hoochies for the first 6-8 fish and then switched over to snapping wire when the tide changed. Once we had our fill of that it was time to switch again. This time we went with small 4" weighted hoochies casting into the rips. Great trip, great weather, and a great group of guys.

It's Squid Fishing Time
It's Squid Fishing Time
Apr 20, 2024 Dennis
We went out the other day and the water temperature was around 48 degrees. Squid should arrive the minute the waters hit 50. We have open trips available. Book an 8-hour trip for up to 4 people. We leave the dock at Bass River Marina at 7 am and it's a quick trip to Hyannis. Bring a bucket and some old clothes and get ready to get inked. Trips start next Monday, April 30th but it's a very short season, usually only about 2 weeks long so don't delay.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure aboard our premier charter fishing boat, St. Pete Sport Fishing! As the warm season unfolds, we're ready to provide you with an exhilarating experience on the pristine waters of Cape Cod. Although our first striper trip this year, on 5/13, revealed the offshore waters to be slightly chilly, fear not! We swiftly adapted and turned our attention to the abundant Sea Bass and Tautog fishing. This season, the Black Sea Bass are teeming in unprecedented numbers, promising an incredible angling experience. Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated opening of Black Sea Bass season this Saturday, May 20th. With great excitement, we anticipate a truly exceptional season. Fortunately, we still have some prime trip dates available just for you. Picture yourself on a half-day Sea Bass expedition, brimming with excitement and anticipation for the impressive haul that awaits you. At an unbeatable price of $600, you and your companions can relish in the thrill of landing up to 4 bass per person, while also reeling in up to 40 Scup (Porgy) per person. But that's not all! There's a buzz in the air as massive Stripers make their way through the canal on the Bay Side. It won't be long before they grace our coastlines, ensuring an exhilarating angling encounter. Stay tuned for the thrill of a lifetime as you join us for another exceptional year on the water. Book your trip with St. Pete Sport Fishing today and embark on an adventure that will leave you with unforgettable memories, trophy catches, and a true love for the sea. Don't miss out on this opportunity to indulge your passion for fishing in the most spectacular setting.

We're still catching a lot of Stripers
We're still catching a lot of Stripers
Aug 18, 2022 Dennis
It's been a rough couple of weeks on the south side of Cape Cod with high winds and some rough seas. Unfortunately, we had to cancel some trips due to the wind and sea conditions but the rest of the trips have been outstanding. Unlike the Bay, thankfully, the stripers are still plentiful out in the rips of Monomoy if you know where to look. We've come home with a full box every time. Thank you, God! The fish are big, fighting, and fat, especially the Bluefish. The Albies are starting to move in as well so we're still in for a lot of great fishing on the south side of Cape Cod. Don't wait, book your trip today. Limited slots are still available.
